The crop of tame hay in Wisconsin
will be sadly deficient this year Last
years crop was scanty, but the ground
had the advantage of fair wetting in
The early spring, to start the grass with.
But there were no rains worth mention
ing, either last fall or this spring, while
the snow supply was meager. As re-
suit, the ground started in almost as dry
as board this spring, and there has not
been enough moisture since to relieve
this condition. The grass is therefore
ripening of, thin, scraggy and short, and
most meadows will be scarcely worth
the cutting.

THE FAR WEST.
From Crary's History of Buffalo.

Where shall we find the far West?-
Within your recollection and mine, this
spot was 90 considered; but now, the
West is barely thought of, when speaking
of Buffalo; and even at Chicago, you hear
the West spoken of, as we did Buffalo a
few years ago. The vast tide of emigra-
ton cannot be stopped until the Pacific
opposes barrier. | have just left gen
tleman who has made large purchases on
the Rock river Wisconsin Territory J and
who informs me that it is one of the most
beautiful countries 10 the western world.

NEW YORK MAIL: We are glad to
know that the Republican club is grow
ing in its numerical strength. No like
organization in recent years has come SO
rapidly INTO national note and prominence
The secret of its rise and growth has been
the fact that i. is made up of members
who have the courage of strong and de-
finite Republican convictions. Had there
been fifty such clubs in this state in 1884

People ought not to go wild nor lose
their better judgment because the pros
poets nov are that in time Cheyenne is
destined to be IA hourishing city. -
There are many such cities in the far
West, such rs for instance Omaha, Dem
yer and other places, and the fact that
this term may Justly be applied TO a
town does not mean that people are going
to become ia~bulously rich unless some
thing is done-or in other words, unless
they themselves take some measures to
that end. Even in what may now be
termed hourishing cities, real estate does
not always command r%rincely prices, and
it ought not to be assumed by our people
that because Cheyenne has now such good
prospects that two or three corner lots or
a block or two ought TO sell for enough to
make them independently rich for the
balance of their lives. That Cheyenne
will In time become quite a railroad center
is quite probable, but unless manufac-
tories and manufacturing interests secure
some attention the city's full measure of
prosperity will not be assured. Again let
US say: People ought not to go wild nor
lose their better judgment because the
prospects now are hat in time Cheyenne
is destined to be a hourishing city.

Quiet hut STEADY.

All quiet on Crow creek, but the
boom progresses steadily and the usual
number Of sales were made yesterday by
our real estate dealers. There were some
indications last week that the boom
would extend to business blocks on our
principal streets, but thus far such has
not been the case, Us the owners Of prop.
erty of that class are in no hurry to sell.
Several places, however. have been taken
under an option, but as a rule the boom
has thus far been confined to unimproved
property. One instance occurred yes,er
day which shows that sagacious business
men are in no hurry to part with their
property, being convinced hat the boom
is not a mere bubble in the wind but some
thing permanent. About two weeks ago
a certain prominent Business man gave
one OF our real estate dealers an option on
a valuable piece of unimproved property
for II certain number Of days. The time
expired two or three days ago, but on yes
terday the dealer came prepared to take
the property and pay the consideration
agreed upon. The owner of the property
refused to let it go on the ground that the
real estate dealer had not come up within
the time agreed upon, and he now wants
800 per foot for the property.

The Maverick Law.

The Douglas idrertiser lately contained
an item to the effect that "the maverick
law has been declared unconstitutional by
the courts Such is not the case and the
Adrertiser is laboring under a misappre-
hension. There has been no case before
the courts in which the merits of the
maverick law were directly involved, and
in the rcpleyin case which the ldrertise1
no doubt had in mind at the time the item
referred to was published, the decision of
the court tended 10 uphold the law in
question. In that case the court held
that if the Stock Growers Association
put its brand upon a maverick first it
would hold the animal in preference to all
the world unless there was positive proof
of ownership in someone else. There was
some extra judicial dicta" in the case al
ludcd to, which tended to point out some
imperfect features Of the law, but the UNI
constitutionality of the maverick law was
not called in question or in issue in that
case.

The sociable given at the Presbyterian
church last evening. was a fine affair in
every respect, and the enterprising ladies
of hat church are entitled to much credit
for their efforts in making a success fnan-
cially and otherwise of the affair. The
supper tables were well patronized until
the close Of the entertainment. The mu-
steal programme was also a decided sue
cess. Space forbids more than the mere
statement of what the programme
was. First came an instrumental
duet by Prof. Pasmore and
Miss Iva Baker, a song by the P~resbyter-
ian choir, u violin solo by Prot. Hutchin-
son, who was recalled by the audience
and gave another rendition, after which
Miss Minnie Gillem sang bid Me Dis
course and being loudly encored she
sang with much sweetness and fine effect
''Two's Company The choir then
sang another selection andat its conclusion
Prof. Hutchinson ,reappeared with his
violin. He. was followed with a vocal
duet by Prof. Pasmore and Miss Fannie
Crook, and then Mrs. J. G. Pratt sang a
beautiful solo, and was recalled. The pro-
gramme closed with another selection by
the choir. All of those who participated
did credit to themselves and each was
heartily a%pplauded.

The settlement and adjustment Of con-
ficting rights to the water of Crow creek
bids fair to be quite a serious matter,
when regarded from the standpoint of the
litigation likely to arise very soon. The
city of Cheyenne has rights which will of
course be insisted upon, and suits insti-
tuted if necessary, but this is not all.
There are now ninety irrigation bitches
tapping the creek above Cheyenne, and
there has evidently got to be some sort of
an adjustment very soon, or affairs along
the line of the creek will be in a very
chaotic state before the summer is over.
1t is very probable hat some steps will
be taken with a week to bring these mat.
tiers to the attention of the court, and it
would seem now that much litigation IS to
be the result of the Low complicated state
Of affairs along and in the vicinity of the
creek.
